(HELTONVILLE) - A 1-year-old boy was bit in the face by his great grandmother’s Boston terrier Monday afternoon.

According to Lawrence County Sheriff Sam Craig the incident that happened at a home on Hickory Grove Road is still under investigation but no charges will likely be filed because the dog was a family pet.

"Our animal control officer is at the scene this morning conducting interviews," Craig says.

Police received a 911 call reporting the incident at 5:45 p.m. requesting an ambulance because of the severity of the bite.
